Dorrigo Urunga Bellingen Bicycle Users Group – Dubbug

2 days 13 hours ago

The weather forecast today was a little uncertain with flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder overnight. But there was still a decent turn out for our regular Sunday rides. Today we split across two rides. One group took on the scenic and hilly Korora to Whoopi ride while a second group Urunga to Boambee.

Six cyclists agreed we would head north from Korora to Woolgoolga via Bruxner Park and Bucca T and keep our fingers crossed that the weather held. Coffee and cake was enjoyed in Woopi before our return trip south via Solitary Islands Way and Old Coast Rd. Definitely a lovely ride through forests, and magnificent views of the ocean. Dave R. recounted his memories of people and friends of the area when he was a young
man. A great local history chat and friendly ride.

Meanwhile a little further south 5 riders started from Urunga heading along Yellow Rock Road, Pine Creek Way, South Boambee Rd. A lovely stop at Secret Garden for coffee where we met up with Erica and Piggy. Piggy has got his new knee, still pretty sore and be a while before he's back on the bike.

All in all the weather held off for some lovely riding in this beautiful part of the mid north coast.

Sunday 8th March International Women’s Day Social Ride Report.

Many of the regular DUBBUGers have been exploring different countries (particularly NZ) fabulous riding opportunities of late but today we were all reminded of the spectacular part of the world we are lucky enough to call home.

Riding from Urunga out to Hungry Head where we stopped to enjoy a world class coastal view before heading off around Yellow Rock where the river and ocean vistas are unrivalled through to the lovely north beach cafe at Mylestom for coffee, cake and chats. Who could ask for more??

Well actually, Lisa probably could have asked for a slightly less close encounter with a roo … but thankfully both fauna and rider escaped without injury!

Around 50km sounds about right to venture from Urunga to Bellingen via South Bank Rd and return via North Bank road. With nearly 20 starters, we easily identified as "oranges and lemons" as we made our way through the beautiful Kalang River valley with the promise of coffee & cake at The Old Butter Factory. Somehow we missed the light rain, making the forest ride even more special on an overcast day. Sadly, the potholes leading downhill past Bellingen hospital seem to be getting worse. It's a tough call for Council to keep on top of this, especially as the increase in e-bikes makes our region a popular place to cycle. Congrats to Paula, the undoubted "Rose" in climbing!
